## What is Surf Reader?

Surf Reader is a pocket-sized coaching companion built around Martin Dunn's 40-year surf-coaching method. Read the break, set your intention before you paddle out, then rate the surf you actually had — and watch your wave-selection skill grow session by session.

MAP THE BREAK
Sand banks shift, rips appear, peaks drift. Turn what you see in the lineup into a saved beach map you can pull up before every paddle-out. Eight break types, drawn your way.

PLAN WITH INTENTION
"Just have fun" is a great mantra and a poor session plan. A guided 7-question flow gives you one specific thing to work on each surf.

REVIEW HONESTLY
Rate your session the moment you're back on the sand. Surf Reader closes the loop between what you planned and what you actually did.

WATCH YOUR SKILL RISE
Every session feeds a simple picture of your progress, so better wave selection becomes a habit — not a guess.

BUILT FOR SURFERS
• 5 languages — English, Español, Português, 日本語, Français
• 8 break types to map
• Local-first: your sessions, plans and maps stay on your device — no account required

Built on Martin Dunn's coaching from eSurfR.com, MartinDunn.com.au, and Martin Dunn Surf Camps.
